Chapter 94 My Unemployed Brother
Chapter 94 My Unemployed Brother
"Why are you up so early? Don't you want to sleep longer?"
I looked at Brandon, who was dressed neatly and about to go to the bathroom to freshen up and asked
doubtfully.
Although he was usually a workaholic, today was the weekend. Normally, people liked to sleep in
during the weekend when they didn't need to go to work. I guessed he was just different from the most.
"I'll give you a ride to the station, then I'll go back to the villa and sleep."
His answer surprised me. He got up so early just to take me to the station. When did this man become
so considerate? It really surprised me.
But at the same time, I was happy.
"It's okay, I'll just take a taxi."
Although I secretly wanted him to give me a ride, I still had to keep up appearances on the surface.
Otherwise, he would think that I was trying to make our relationship public and become his girlfriend.
"Wait there for ten minutes." Brandon glanced at me. After throwing out these words, he walked into the
bathroom.
I was stunned for a few seconds before I came to my senses. I dragged my luggage to the living room
and waited for Brandon.
In less than ten minutes, he came out. He wasn't wearing a formal suit like he usually did. Today, he
wore a white shirt with a pair of black track pants. I had never seen Brandon dressed so casually. I
didn't expect that Brandon would look so handsome in sportswear.
I looked at him blankly for a few seconds before I came to my senses. My face was already flushed
with an unnatural blush.
Brandon drove me to the gate of the station. After I got out of the car, he turned around and left. He
didn't say a word to me, which made me a little disappointed.
But I soon adjusted my mood. I went to the counter and bought a ticket. After that, I went to the waiting
area and waited for the bus that would take me home.
After half a day of the bumpy journey, I finally arrived home. My hometown was a small rural village, so
I had to walk a long time to get home.
I called my mom before I went home, so I saw her at the village entrance as soon as I entered the Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
village.
"You must be tired after sitting on the bus for such a long time. Here, let me help you with that."
My mother took my things as soon as she saw me, including some of the supplements that I bought for
my father when Brandon took me to the station.
"Mom, how is dad recently? Is he feeling better?"
My mom and I walked side by side and began to chat.
"Ever since the operation, your father has been feeling much better. You don't have to worry about him.
Just focus on your work. I will take good care of him."
I chatted with my mom all the way and soon we arrived home.
After returning home, I chatted with my father for a while. My mother prepared dinner. In the evening,
my brother Camren came home. As soon as he entered the door, I smelled a strong smell of alcohol.
"Hollie, why are you home? How much money do you have?"
Camren approached me. When he spoke, the smell of alcohol was even more pungent.
From his flushed face, it was clear that he was drunk. I frowned and glared at him angrily. "Camren,
look at you, how old are you? Go find a job!"
My younger brother had dropped out of school when he was still a teenager. Since then, all he did was
mix around with some thugs and get into trouble. He would often gamble and get into fights. I didn't
know what I did to deserve a brother like him.
But even so, my parents still regarded him as a treasure. Here, parents often preferred sons over
daughters. If it weren't so, my parents wouldn't have let me go out to the city alone to work.
They'd never cared about whether I had enough money to spend. Every time they called, they'd just
told me that they were short of money, or that my brother was in trouble again and needed money to
settle it.
This was the culture of my village, so I didn't really mind. Camren was still my brother. If he worked, I
would help him no matter what, but he was unemployed and just a thug now. He had never worked a
proper job in his life.
I worked so hard outside, but I had to use my hard-earned money to settle his troubles.
I wasn't a saint. I had complaints and emotions as well. Right now, I was disappointed with my brother.
"Hollie, why are you yelling at me? What did I do wrong?"
Camren was also a bad-tempered person. When he heard what I said, he immediately became angry
and looked at me with an unhappy face.
"Look at what you look like now. Dad is in poor health now. Why can't you find a proper job to relieve
the burden on our family?"
I was really disappointed in him. Our father was sick, and he still went out and got drunk.
"Dad has had an operation, hasn't he? Hollie, Dad is fine."
Camren walked over to me and burped. The strong smell of alcohol came into my nose. I was even
angrier. My parents had spoiled him since he was a child, but now he had grown up and become a jerk
like this.
I glared at Camren angrily and wanted to say something. At this time, my mother came in. Seeing that I
was scolding my brother, she quickly backed him up. "Hollie, what are you doing? Why are you
scolding your brother? He didn't do anything!"
Usually, Mom loved me dearly, but once my brother was involved, all his mistakes would be my fault.
No matter what Camren has done wrong, in the eyes of my parents, the one who has done wrong will
always be me.
"Mom, look at her, I didn't even do anything!"
At this time, Camren walked to my mother with an aggrieved look.
My parents favoured their son more than their daughter. To my parents, nothing was more important
than my brother, so even if I was scolding Camren for his own good, they would still take his side.
"You haven't seen your brother for such a long time. You can't get angry with him as soon as you meet
him."
As usual, my mom stood up for my brother.
If it was in the past, I would definitely give in to my mother's words. I didn't say a word, but today I didn't
want to let it go.
In recent days, I had suffered enough pressure. I was so tired every day, but my brother didn't do
anything and always cause more trouble. I really couldn't stand it anymore.
Since my parents loved him so much since he was a child, he should bear the heavy burden of his
family, shouldn't he?
